A typical Sunday, riding bikes in Seoul

[@zzynbl]

Dude, I know it was just a passing remark, but that "climate change kinda terrifies me" was so refreshing to hear. I live in Australia where we're heading towards summer, and the weather is absolute chaos this year. I've been thinking about climate change almost constantly, and the fact that most people just seem to ignore it makes the feeling so much worse. If we're going to overcome this I think we need to start being really honest with ourselves and each other about how we're feeling. Thank you for doing that publicly ❤it might seem insignificant to you but I genuinely think it's an important step towards collective action.

[@probablyriding]

It is scary and I feel like we are sleepwalking into disaster. We can all do small things, that when added up can make a difference but ultimately, we need to expect more from our governments. Riding bikes, at least helps distract from the impending doom!

[@leradicideglialberi]

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch: something good in my day, thank you so much. I hope to visit again Korea in future.

[@stevetomnorris]

I'm Probably Writing a comment about how much I love this channel

[@probablyriding]

I'm probably grateful.

[@IrvineCenterDriver]

Your videos are shot in a gorgeous way that I can't quite describe. I relieve my homesickness through your videos. I used to live in Gangdong-gu in Seoul.

[@probablyriding]

Thanks so much!

[@OutThere42]

Thank you for this Sunday morning video. planning a ride this afternoon with a friend. Loaning him my 1990s steel road bike with flat/sweep back bars for today’s ride

[@probablyriding]

Sounds great!

[@OutThere42]

@ 20 miles over an hour and a half, gorgeous day for a mid November ride, felt like a stolen day.

[@PankoBreading]

I fell out of the loop with the videos lately, the last one I watched was the Tokyo one, now I have a sort of "Season 2" of Probably Riding to watch, I couldn't be more happy, great timing since I bought my first bike as a restoration project, and im excited to ride it 😊😊😊

[@probablyriding]

Welcome back!

[@cycgeist]

Thanks for watching 👀

[@Lucisev_]

I actually live 25 miles away from Rivendell Bicycles, but never heard of them until I ran into your channel this year. I wish I had. I moved into my own place 10 years ago and started looking for a bike. Had bike shops in 10 miles radius and they were all Trek, Specialized, etc. Nothing wrong with those, but I had wanted a bike with kickstand and sweptback bar. And none of the bike shops had those. They are all drop bars, straight bars. It boggles the mind. And most of them spoke and treat cycling in way of sports. While the bike I had wanted would have been like a Riv Platypus or such.

[@probablyriding]

Even if you’re not in the market you should take a visit to try out what a Rivendell feels like to ride. I’ve heard they’re super nice people as well.

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Junho's "wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man" impression was spot on 😂 A cortado in a mug in this type of weather is glorious. The Probably Riding bingo card has to happen 😊 Hope everyone is having a good Sunday 💚🚲

[@probablyriding]

I shared a bi go card that a subscriber made a few a weeks ago on instagram haha. Junho makes a good wavy man.

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Oh, damn! I don't use insta much. I probably should, you've got some glorious photos on there 😍 I've just checked it out, that's amazing! I thought we were just being hypothetical in the comments on your previous video, but it seems that bingo card has been up for 2 months already 😅 great work by "about a bicycle" 👏 "Casual yet inspirational message" is so right 😊

[@bohyunyoo5855]

Very calm and relaxing video... ♥

[@probablyriding]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@David-mt7tj]

Seoul is exponentially more populous and geographically larger than where I live in Boston and yet it seems so much more laid back and quiet.

[@probablyriding]

I think you can just find those laid back places by bike. There are plenty of busy and chaotic places which I tend to avoid.

[@David-mt7tj]

@@probablyriding Even drivers seem a lot more... calm. Maybe it's just by chance in this video, but I don't see cars doing 50 MPH through city streets or hear constant honking. Seems like there's a lot more respect for others.

[@sktub569]

I lived in both Seoul and Boston. Seoul has 9,110,000 more people than Boston. Calm is the last word I would use to describe Seoul. The drivers are easily more frantic than Boston largely due to the lax driver’s education programs in Korea. It seems calm because this is Sunday morning and the city infrastructure is well organized. Commuted on my bike over 15 years in Seoul and got doored by cars twice. Not bad considering the miles I put in during that time I guess.

[@Agy87sea]

Love your videos and it's calming and peaceful vibe !

[@probablyriding]

Thank you so much!

[@Eugenio-i1u]

Feels like yesterday when you were anticipating the hot, humid days of summer back in May. Great vid! Well-needed therapy here in the US . . . .

[@probablyriding]

Feels like yesterday for me too!

[@shotypua1]

Going to seoul on saturday! hope to bump into you in hbc!

[@probablyriding]

Have a great time!

[@johnduggan4993]

Sadly, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line once allowed bicycles on work days outside peak commuting hours, no more. Was great to bypass the heavily trafficked portions of the bike paths and get out in the country. The rail to trail portions out to Yangpyong was one of my favorites. Where I live, the gingko trees are beautiful right now, with a golden carpet of fallen leaves cushioning the path. For riding on the metro, a great hack I learned from a Korean cyclist is to secure brakes with heavy rubber bands when there's no way to affix the bike. Now, I carry some with me to pass on the favor he did for me.

[@probablyriding]

Nice. I use a Voile strap to hold the brake lever.

[@Velocipedium]

A toe strap round the bar and lever, works too. That’s my trike & cargobike hack.

[@johnduggan4993]

@probablyriding Hadn't seen those before; they look quite useful for all sorts of things, and for me, especially securing the front wheel to the downtube.

[@bencopsey]

Love seeing the seasons change in your videos this year.

Love a cortado! It feels extra special when it's not on the menu but they'll make it anyway - the sign of a good shop.

[@probablyriding]

Totally agree!

[@kmmvasquez]

It’s snowing now where I am and my bike hasn’t been winterized yet. Living (or riding) vicariously through your videos, while also admittedly a little jealous 😅

[@probablyriding]

That weather will be coming here soon!

[@superlark]

13:59 i feel you, I'd go for 26+ tires too, lots of dirt roads around me. That's is a beautiful bike! Love the purple accents! 🤩😍

[@probablyriding]

Right on!

[@pjkarsijns]

Do you ever break the 20 km/h speed limit ( 14:21 )? Do you get a fine if you get caught?

[@probablyriding]

Probably going about that speed most of the time which means all the people that pass me are breaking the limit. Never seen anyone fined or stopped. In Korea, rules are there as more of a guide haha

[@johnpot7323]

Seeing lots of small wheeled bikes. Been watching for a little while since hearing about you on Path Less Pedaled inyrtviewing Bike Breath couple. In all cruisig round Seoul thought I'd spot a Moulton or two! I know there are some Moulton fans in Korea. Enjoying your trips, and videos!

[@probablyriding]

Lots of Moultons and Brompton over here. That so cool about Path Less Pedalled and Bike Breath. I watch most of his videos but somehow missed that one!

As always, great job Marcus. Curious, what handle bars are you using on this bike?

[@probablyriding]

Nitto KT bars on my bike.

[@Bargos1968]

Nice bikes, your Rivendell has an unusual frame design. Like your videos, so different.

[@probablyriding]

Glad you like them!

[@hmudesign]

When I was there about a year ago, we walked around this area of Sookmyung women University, is it the same one? Next time I will have to do this on a bike. Walking is nice and all, walked a marathon every day for about 8 days, but would have covered so much more ground on bikes. It looked way colder last year, than in your videos :)

[@probablyriding]

This was near Ehwa Uni. Bikes are the best way to explore a city.

[@hmudesign]

@@probablyriding totally!

[@TheAleRosenbaum]

Loved the video! I wonder how much kms you rode in the end, seems to be a lot 😅

[@probablyriding]

Thanks! I don’t track my rides but probably about 40km.

[@shinhochulp]

If I didn’t already have a Surly Ghost Grappler, I’d pick up an Evasion. What a cool bike!

[@probablyriding]

Ghost Grappler is great bike too.

[@Microfishingstory]

11:46 I have a similar Bianchi “Special” in that color. Beautiful bike, rides so smooth. Would definitely love to switch from drops to swept bars like this one. Tell your friend much love from the US!

[@probablyriding]

Very nice. I think it suits swept back bars.

[@carmeltravers6371]

[@davebown9991]

Great video, love the bike. What bags are on the bike? Thanks, Dave from Birmingham

Yes. It mostly dry and very cold but most winters it snows quite heavily at least once.

[@scottandlora4029]

How on earth do you sleep sunday night after all the coffee?

Just two coffees!

[@scottandlora4029]

@probablyriding Two sounds just right. Thanks for taking us along!

Oh man, red bean tayaki is my favorite, but I like the ubi as well. Did not realize Seoul was so hilly.

[@dipenpatel5204]

Great video. I guess I feel obligated to mention that if you’re concerned about climate change, you should look into the impact of meat consumption on the environment! Going plant based is great option for reducing your impact

[@probablyriding]

Yup. I’ve reduced meat consumption to one day a week.

[@dipenpatel5204]

@ Awesome! Glad to hear that. I think that’s a really practical perspective to have versus thinking of it as all-or-nothing plant based.

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

bikes are an after thought in Seoul just like north america, at least it's safer there that car infested american cities

[@probablyriding]

Good leisure infrastructure. Not so good for regular daily life riding.
